The Visual Art Department is honored to give our students an education grounded in visual fundamentals, critical thinking and creative expression. Art Education is a vital part of the creative and cultural development of a maturing individual, and for this reason, we encourage problem solving and creativity throughout the students’ growth in knowledge, skills, and talents.

The classes offered are designed to introduce new students to basic and essential art knowledge and skills, allow all students to explore new techniques and create art that deepens their talent level, and finally, allow the more mature artists to work independently with guidance and an eye to their future in the art world.

3-D

As a student in Three-Dimensional (3-D) Art at Arkansas Arts Academy, two-dimensional principles are carried forth through the use of three-dimensional space planning, exploration, and realization. Various media/materials are implemented in these programs, including paper, synthetics, natural materials, and ceramics. Our three-dimensional art program encourages further growth of imagination through creative use of space and design.
